Thomas Goslin, the founding pastor of the Community Church (English Speaking - primarily US origin) of Madrid (Spain), makes a powerful presentation for a form of church planting that is not tied to immediate or future plans for the building, buying, and maintaining a traditional brick and mortar church. Drawing from Tom's abundant experience with traditional congregations and the Community Church of Madrid, he explores the benefits to the ministry and mission of his large congregation worshipping on a permanent basis in a variety of locations, all for much fewer resources than required by traditional building-based congregations. A well balanced book, Tom does not hold up this approach as appropriate for every situation, but he makes a compelling case for broader use of "The Church Without Walls. This book is a good read for anyone interested in church planting, church growth, evangelism, and mission.

Albert Gleaves, Admiral USN, wrote these memoirs in 1934 after a long and distinguished career as Commander of the convoy that successfully transported one million U.S. GIs to Europe for the First World War (developing the convoy system as it is still used today) and then being Commander of the Pacific Fleet during the evacuation of the White Russians from Vladivostok during the 20s. A 60-foot monument to Admiral Gleaves' achievement which was erected by the French in front of the sea wall at St. Nazaire and subsequently blown up by the Germans when they invaded France in WWII was reconstructed by the French as part of the 50-year anniversary of the D-Day invasion. These memoirs are filled with fascinating anecdotes and stories that were taken from his diaries, now on permanent loan to the U.S. Library of Congress. Franklin Roosevelt said of the author: "Admiral Gleaves had already achieved distinction in the Navy before his eminent stature was further revealed by his service as commander of the cruiser and transport force during the World War. He organized the strategy of our transport service and completed the enormous task assigned to him without the loss of a single soldier. For this service he won the admiration of the world. His long naval career was characterized by great versatility and by the utmost tact and diplomacy in the discharge of the varied duties which fell to him to perform." Viscount Jellicoe, First Sea Lord of the British Admiralty, has said, "From a seaman's point of view it is unparalleled in history."

ero yo creo que la gente negra del mundo, al rechazar el legado de  colonialismo y de la dominación blanca y de construir alrededor de sí  sus propios valores, niveles y perspectiva hacia la vida, han  establecido al fin una base sólida para una cooperación significativa  entre ellos mismos en la gran batalla del Tercer Mundo contra las  naciones ricas...No hay duda que la lucha de poder blanco-negro en  Sudáfrica no es sino un microcosmos del enfrentamiento global entre el  Tercer Mundo y las naciones blancas ricas del mundo que se manifiesta de  una manera real a medida que transcurren los años...EL aparteid, en  pequeña o en gran escala, es obviamente malévolo. Nada puede justificar  la presunción arrogante de que una élite de extranjeros tenga el derecho  de decidir sobre las vidas de una mayoría. El hecho de que el aperteid  ha sido asociado con la supremacía blanca, con la explotación  capitalista y con la opresión deliberada hace que el problema sea mucho  más complejo. La escasez material es suficientemente mala, pero  aparejada con la pobreza espiritual mata...Rechazamos la sociedad  occidental la cual se basa en el poder y que parece preocuparse de  perfeccionar sus conocimiento tecnológico, a la vez que pierde su  dimensión espiritual. Creemos que a la larga, la contribución especial  de África al mundo será en el reino de la relación humana. Los grandes  poderes del mundo pueden haber hecho maravillas dándole al mundo una  panorámica industrial y militar; pero el mayor bien viene de camino  desde África: dar al mundo una faz más humana.

This examination of the declining membership of the Plymouth Brethren Church by prominent Plymouth Brethren leader Nate Smith gives concrete suggestions on how this once-dynamic dissenting denomination might recpature its historical vibrancy. It has been repeatedly recommended by church leaders as a wonderful resource filled with cogent recommendations for all those involved in churches who struggle to maintain traditional forms of worship in a society undergoing huge changes.

This is a reprint of a book first published in 1984 by David C. Cook Publishing Co. Still much in demand, especially in seminaries and Christian colleges as a text for Marriage and Family Counseling courses, it is being reissued by Hope Publishing House. The theme of the book is "When spouses, parents and children agree to live together in love--despite their imperfections--they form a special bond. It's called a 'family covenant.' Based on years of research and practice in family ministry, Dr. Dennis Guernsey explains how this covenant can affect your family and families in your church."

Children and Nonviolence

Aldridge, Robert C.

Authoritarian parents are so commonplace in our society that teenage rebellion is considered inevitable. We need a change of attitude, say Bob and Janet Aldridge who have raised ten children.Cooperative decision-making in the family is the place to start. Raising nonviolent children means, first and foremost, creating an atmosphere of harmony in the home. The family is the best place for everyone to feel nurtured and safe in a society that is increasingly violent. This is a helpful guide for those who want to raise children peacefully and earn youngsters' respect by modeling a nonviolent approach towards decision-making. ob and Janet Aldridge, world renowned peace activists, have brought harmony to the kitchen table as well as the world community. As a former design engineer for the Polaris missile system, Bob received international acclaim for his book, "First Strike," which contradicted the myth that the American weapon industry concentrates on defense rather than offense. As a Christian, he felt he coulld no longer participate in making such weapons. Currently they live in Santa Clara, CA, traveling frequently to speak on fostering peace at home and in the neighborhood. The Library Journal said, "The authors, parents of ten, bring a unique perspective to raising children in an atmosphere of peace. Bob worked for many years in the armaments industry. Now, both travel worldwide in support of the anti-nuclear movement. This book chronicles their gradual realization that they were morally opposed to the arms race; and it describes the challenges they faced in giving up a lucrative income from that industry. As a guide for parents seeking ways to teach a nonviolent approach to life, the book has much to offer. The authors make an eloquent case for a simpler lifestyle, one less demanding of natural and human resources. Recommended for public libraries."
